Lilienthal Eric

Eric Lilienthal is the sole proprietor of Montana Woods Contracting, a for-profit small business providing natural resource management services to the federal government. Montana Woods Contracting specializes in conducting forestry, fisheries, and vegetation surveys to support sustainable forest management programs.

Montana Woods Contracting has been awarded over $200,000 in federal contracts from the USDA Forest Service Northern Region to perform stocking surveys assessing regeneration levels in harvested and burned forest areas across Montana. This has involved surveying tree seedling densities and species compositions to identify replanting needs and inform post-fire reforestation efforts. The contractor has also conducted multiple fisheries stocking surveys under contract to monitor fish populations and inform fisheries management programs. All contracts have been prime contract awards issued on a firm fixed price basis, with no major subcontractors identified. While several delivery orders leveraged small business set asides, most awards to Montana Woods Contracting applied no set aside provision.

Montana Woods Contracting also holds two Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Forest Service Northern Region for performing forestry stocking surveys across the Lolo National Forest through 2025. The first is a 5-year single award IDIQ contract with a $400,000 ceiling to conduct regeneration surveys in harvested and burned forest stands. The second is a separate IDIQ award for stocking surveys in the Lolo National Forest. Task orders issued under these IDIQ vehicles have called for surveys to determine stocking levels, species compositions, and overall forest health to guide reforestation and vegetation management activities.
